Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet?

[n0ne]

Watching with bet used to be more enjoyable than just watching a match. When you've placed a bet on a match, it makes us watch the match and gives us the opportunity to avoid loss if things were against our prediction. Apart from the same my preference used to be live betting which lets us predict the outcome in a much closer manner.

[STT]

Placing a bet is nice but I can get the same level of enjoyment in either scenario; even if I should lack a wager placed for teams in the current game the performance of the team is relevant for future bets so its all good either way.
   I would not feel obliged to bet, that would be bad voodoo and force mistakes trying to gamble when the premise for a good outcome of risk vs reward is no longer there.  Not every game should be bet on but it doesn't mean its not relevant overall or enjoyable.    Sometimes its circumstances not just the money issue of having enough to bet, it could be time before the game to have spare time to consider then place the bet.  If you rush again do not expect to win, if you have no special feeling to decide a good outcome confidence again do not bet just watch its all fine.  Anyone who feels they have to bet on a game to enjoy not in a good place imo, watch the film Bad Lieutenant classic betting downfall movie

Live bets is different and I'm acquainted with it. The outcome we gets each time we're in the market, we just have to play safe. We wants the very best results for ourselves and I wouldn't be happy to watch my side dried up without any significant profits measured out. The outcomes we gets when we bet is different from the possible outcome that will be generated when we don't place any bet. We watched with our eyes open when our money is stake on bet, we watch the game with so much passion and can gives every single details of our this matched bets on played.

Not for me though, when I watch the game and I see my team aren't playing well, everytime I do a live bet, I have experience losing most of the time. So it's not working for me, watching it and thinking of live betting will only make the situation worse, unless you are a professional sports bettor and you have a data to back up your pick, however, if it's "emotion-based" bet, forget it.

Watching without bet. That's obvious. Gambling is fun but it also comes with other things like anxiety, fear of losing, the mental stress etc. I can't enjoy a good game with all these emotions going inside my brain. It's much much distracting to watch a game with bet. Should I focus on the game or focus on my bet. I can't do both at the same time. Until the game finishes I won't have my peace of mind if I place a bet on the game.

I prefer to watch the game without betting because there I can fully enjoy the game I am watching, there is nothing else to worry about such as the bets that I did at the beginning. people's choices vary they can do what they like so they will do it, that's why I choose to watch without betting.

In my case it was different because when I started betting, I encouraged to watch games with bet. I have no interest in watching any game without betting. If I didn't bet I wouldn't watch the game. Sometimes I am not motivated to gamble but when I watch a live game I am very excited to gamble. Now i am able to control myself from that situation. I can adapt myself to any situation. But it's true that when I bet on a live game, that game is more fun for me. When we enjoy a live game with betting we stay between losing and winning moment that I enjoy and there are many who do not enjoy game with any kind of pressure. It depends on the individual.

well this makes a difference where everyone proves that everyone has their own choices, we will do what we think is happy or good for us. as long as it doesn't harm others then there is nothing wrong with it.
Like me who doesn't like to place bets while watching, and like you who prefers to bet while watching. do you ever regret your bets? I mean when you bet and lose do you regret it?

What are you looking for in a situation like this, is it the pleasure of watching and also the pleasure of winning bets that you are looking for? everyone has their own motives like you said it all depends on the individual. i just suggest not to overdo the betting because it still includes winning and losing, also don't let you lose self-control when you get an unwanted final result.

We're the same, that's why I don't really watch anymore when I have a bet because I can't focus watching because the other half of my mind is busy thinking about my bet and thinking if I'm going to win or not, seems like being an overthinker can really manifest the thing that they're thinking which somehow results of losing.

[pinggoki]

To me, it's betting with fun and I think that I'm the same as the majority here I mean where's the fun if you don't have stakes on the game and it's like you're a part of it when you do bet on the games that you're also watching. That's how gambling should be right? You do it because it's for your enjoyment and entertainment and it's not like you're going to be betting too big on the games so where's the harm in betting right? Maybe my answer would change if the money at stake is a little higher than the usual that someone bets but for now, I stand on that it's fun to watch sports when you've got a bet in place.

Planned ahead strategically, right? It can be just as fun to watch a game without betting on it as it is to learn how to play it next time. This way helps you learn more about the game and trust your instincts. Betting is like making good wine: you have to practice. Not having enough money isn't enough; you also need to have the right attitude. If you rush a bet, the results are usually not very good, just like if you skip steps in a recipe. I agree with what you said about "not betting for the sake of betting." It makes sense. To gamble responsibly, you need to know when to play and when to watch. Watching a game without betting on it is like going to a show without sitting in the front row. It's different, but fun. As you said, Bad Lieutenant shows how dangerous it is to bet too much. This story is meant to teach us how to gamble responsibly. The experience should be driven by fun, not competition. Is there too little time in the day to miss the easy pleasures of watching?

I sometimes kill time by watching blackjack games on the youtube channels of certain users who play it for fun with their own casinos or setup casinos. Usually involves live dealers and commentary from the players. Indeed its more fun to watch someone else play and lose money because you know that the money is not yours and no stress is on you.

Live dealer games have a different vibe indeed. Online games are fun too but but the ones with live dealers and real life brick and morter casinos will always shine desperately.

Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

Why do you think gambling should be fun? I don’t know a single person who is interested in gambling and gets pleasure from it. I think this is a wrong point of view. I know more disappointed people who play than those who enjoy it.
Moreover, even when a person wins money, he does not always get pleasure from it. After all, then he begins to think that he should have bet more money on this outcome.
Earning money is not always associated with pleasure

The idea of gambling was supposed to be for fun and some wins along the line, not a die hard career that requires much seriousness and a lot of funds to loose.

On the other hand, betting bears similarities to gambling as both involves putting in funds against a presumed odd just to win big on the prediction one has made.

I only bet on matches that are very interesting like finals, El Classico, London derby and other great competitive matches that I think I could win big on. Not just betting on anyone match being played everyday. In such scenario, I have a control over how I place bets and can enjoy myself while waiting for the outcome of bets made. It's more fun this way .

Gambling is not always fun when someone wins gambling it is a very exciting moment for him. But when he loses gambling it is not happy for him. But for a person who doesn't care about money but just wants to enjoy gambling games, gambling can be fun in any case.  But it won't be the same for everyone. But at the moment of gambling, whether he wins or loses, if he can afford to lose the bet amount, then he is not too excited, but if he loses more than he can afford, he has a very bad experience at that moment and something bad can happen to him.  So one should always be careful about gambling and keep oneself under control

Correct. It's like you are part of the fans who are cheering for the team at live games. I mean you feel the thrill of the game more than just watching it on television without any money on the line. Unless you have been a big fan of that team since you were a kid. But still, the excitement part of watching the game is being enhanced when there's a bet.
I've tried watching a game without a bet and I can tell the difference with and without a bet. I don't cheer in front of the television when I have no bet while I shout my lungs out when I have money on the line. I think many sports gamblers will understand that.
Well, there's still the stressful part when we lose and I think we cannot take that away because it's part of the game. There's only one winner and we made our choice, if they lose then better move on, small or big amount. I have a parlay today and one leg did not hit, I was watching that game live and I need one more point for it to cover, I felt the heartache after the buzzer sound but now I am okay again. It's just how we manage those emotions when the game is over.

Losing much time when watching all matches its not good ideas but you will feel how interested and more push your adrenaline exactly in sport betting. You can watch football matches and see how to make it interested exactly with your teams bet have won but with small score and left few minutes before ended your favorite teams on under pressure. I believe you can't wait for referee as soon stop the game and not give many minutes for additional time. Only watching with one teams for betting but I agree with you when watching all matches bet waste and losses our time exactly in football have more than 90 minutes o every match.

Just watching one match only and another matches result waiting from livescore update, its not take more time and return when matches have ended to see our bet win or loss.

[dansus021]

Which one is fun, watching with a bet or without a bet? Both are fun in my opinion it was really fun if you do bet and win but it will be very upsetting if you lose streak.

and sometimes I just like watching other people bet and I actually spot people who got a jackpot in dice and crash game

By using your logic, it's not that gambling can't be fun, but your whole aren't fun too.

When you win in gambling, you're not happy because you still regret to gamble more money. When you lose in gambling, you're not happy because you're not win.

So this is similar to, when you get an achievement you're still jealous with other people achievement or think you're not enough to only get that.

Do the gamblers you know come from gamblers with weak finances? or those who still borrow money from friends when they are on a losing streak to force them to continue playing?
If you are not ready mentally and financially, it is better not to gamble. it will only disrupt the lives of your fellow gamblers.

After all, every gambler must be aware that they may spend more on gambling than they win. but every win they get they have to enjoy it, otherwise they probably won't go back to gambling again.

Your love for sports betting is obvious, but you must be cautious. A single match enhances the experience but limits one's perspective. Isnt understanding the sport's context exciting? By focusing on one's stake, one risks missing the game's richer tapestry.

Additionally, livescore updates alone can be risky. While saving time, it also removes us from the game's full dynamics. We gain efficiency, but at what cost to our sports knowledge and appreciation?

Finally, responsible betting is crucial. Its about healthy, sustainable sports participation, not just winning. We should enjoy the sport, not simply our bets.

I think it's better to keep those two things separate, or I mean if you want to bet then focus on your betting and if you're just there for the fun of the match you're watching then it's better not to put money into the match you're watching, or I mean don't bet at the same time when you're focused on the fun of the match that's going on.

But on the other hand I think it's all about choice, each individual has the freedom to choose whether they will watch while betting or not, and also each gambler has a different level of pleasure, there are also those who can get 100% pleasure by having to bet on their favorite team's match. The point is I think it's better to focus on one thing only and like you said don't let our brains and minds be distracted just because of the worry of losing that could make our money disappear, so it's better to seek pleasure without risking losing.

It's humane if you are disappointed by losing a bet. You just need to play more relaxed, nothing can be predicted precisely in gambling. Limit your losses so you don't get depressed.
The more often you play, the more often you will lose if you don't play with a clear mind.
Gambling is fun, don't make it a pressure. Play moderately, take your money when you win. That will make you calmer.
Many people lose money because they don't enjoy the game, they are quite stressed when it comes to playing.
